Pavilion Dv6-6B15Ew
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello.



My laptop is HP Pavilion Dv6-6B15Ew (QH616EA).


It has 2 graphic cards.  Radeon HD 6520G (integrated) and Radeon HD 6750M (discrete).



A few days ago suddenly I wasn't able to play most of video games apart from the very old ones. I tried to reinstal Catalyst AMD drivers. When I tried to install driver instalation failed due to an error (connected to detectionmanager.dll).


Eventually I reinstalled windows7. I am still unable to install the (amd catalyst) drivers - the same error appears.


It seems something has happened to Radeon HD 6750M (discrete)


When I try to identify devices, I see
Device Name:
Video Controller (VGA Compatible) - for both of Radeons


However integrated Radeon HD 6520G appears to have normal Hardware  ID.


On the other hand Radeon HD 6750M (discrete) shows:



Device Name:
Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
Hardware ID:
PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_6741&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_6741&SUBSYS_00000000
PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_6741&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_6741
PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_6741&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_6741&CC_0300



Do you have any idea what could be wrong and/or how to fix it? Thanks in advance, I've already spent a few days trying to figure out this madness
